It belongs to the genus Vespertilio, the family Vespertilionidae, and the order Chiroptera.
It is found in Central and Western Europe and in Asia.

The Kozhan is known for its distinctive fur coloration, which is dark brown on the back and pale gray on the belly.
The fur is also long and shaggy, giving the bat a fluffy appearance.
The Kozhan has a wingspan of about 26 to 30 cm and a body length of about 5 to 6 cm.

The Kozhan is also known for its hibernation habits and its longevity.
It hibernates between October and March, usually in caves, mines, cellars, or attics.
It hibernates alone and can tolerate temperatures as low as -2.6°C.

The Kozhan is a nocturnal and insectivorous animal, meaning it hunts for insects at night using echolocation.
It feeds on moths, beetles, flies, and other small insects.
It can catch up to 3,000 insects in one night.
It roosts in tree holes, buildings, or rock crevices during the day, often in small groups or colonies.

The Kozhan is a migratory species, meaning it travels between different regions depending on the season.
It usually migrates in spring and autumn, covering distances of up to 1,000 km.
It prefers habitats with woodlands, meadows, parks, or gardens, where it can find plenty of food and shelter.

The Kozhan is not considered to be endangered, but it faces some threats from human activities.
These include habitat loss, pesticide use, wind turbines, light pollution, and disturbance of its roosting and hibernating sites.
